The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Wang Ma pushed Lin Qingran out of the elevator and saw Lin Xiaoruo standing in the middle of the living room with a fruit basket in her hand. She looked displeased.

Lin Xiaoruo secretly took a deep breath. Although she was jealous of Lin Qingran, she smiled and walked to Lin Qingran's side.

"Sister, I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Lin Qingran glanced at her coldly, without saying a word.

Lin Xiaoruo didn't feel embarrassed at all and handed the fruit basket in her hand towards Wang Ma.

"I bought some fruit for my sister. Aunt Wang, could you go and wash it?"

Wang Ma didn't immediately reach out to take the things she was handed over, but instead looked down at Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran lowered her eyes slightly before taking the fruit basket from Lin Xiaoruo and walking towards the kitchen.

In the living room, only Lin Qingran and Lin Xiaoruo remained.

Lin Xiaoruo tried to push Lin Qingran's wheelchair, but was refused.

Lin Qingran turned her head, adjusted the direction of her wheelchair with her hand, and looked at Lin Xiaoruo with a cold gaze.

"There are only the two of us here, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

Lin Xiaoruo paused for a moment, and the atmosphere became a little tense. Then she chuckled softly to ease the awkwardness.

"Sister, why are you so wary of me? This is your territory. Do you think I would do anything to hurt you?"

As she spoke, she walked to the sofa opposite Lin Qingran and sat down, pouring herself a glass of water.

"Gu Yihuai visited you at the hospital yesterday?"

Lin Qingran's eyes were calm as she casually turned her gaze to Lin Xiaoruo, staring intently at her. Her cold eyes revealed no emotion whatsoever.

Lin Xiaoruo felt a little flustered without realizing it, and then said with an awkward smile.

"When I left the hospital yesterday, I saw him coming out and assumed he was there to see you. Wasn't that right?"

As Lin Xiaoruo spoke, she picked up her water glass and took a small sip, making Yan feel guilty.

Lin Qingran gazed at her calmly and elegantly, her cool eyes making it impossible to fathom her emotions.

After a while, her pink lips moved slightly, and she uttered a soft sentence.

"What, you want to rekindle your old flame with him?"

When Lin Xiaoruo saw her say these words so calmly, her expression changed slightly, and she instinctively glanced in the direction of the stairwell.

No one came downstairs, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Anyone can hear these words.

But Gu Moxuan is different.

Gu Moxuan has regarded Gu Yihuai as his enemy since childhood.

If he finds out about her relationship with Gu Yihuai, she will no longer be able to speak to Gu Moxuan.

Lin Xiaoruo pursed her lips and then spoke softly.

"Sister, I don't understand what you're talking about. After all, we've been playing together since we were little, and I just happened to run into you yesterday, so I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity."

As she spoke, she leaned closer, looked at Lin Qingran, and chuckled softly.

"What, are you afraid that I'll rekindle my old flame with him, and you'll lose a backup plan?"

As Lin Xiaoruo spoke, she looked at Lin Qingran with a defiant gaze.

The person in the wheelchair simply chuckled softly and said in a calm tone.

"You really think highly of yourself. Do you think Gu Yihuai sees you as a lover?"

Lin Xiaoruo was quiet for a while, then her expression suddenly turned displeased.

"Lin Qingran!"

Her voice was filled with anger, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, causing it to bristle.

Lin Qingran nodded gently, her expression as calm as ever, her eyes devoid of warmth.

"Hmm, no need to speak so loudly, I can hear you."

Lin Xiaoruo gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.

"You're not much better off than me, are you? If you weren't the third young lady of the Lin family, you'd probably be in a worse situation than me today."

A hint of mockery gradually crept into Lin Qingran's eyes.

She stared calmly at Lin Xiaoruo in front of her, her expression indifferent.

"Everything I had from childhood, you had too. Our Lin family has never mistreated you. What exactly are you dissatisfied with?"

Footsteps could be heard coming from upstairs, and Lin Xiaoruo kept her eyes fixed on Lin Qingran.

A few seconds later, tears streamed down her face.

"Sister, I know I am just an adopted daughter of the Lin family and can't compare to you in any way, but you are just trying to embarrass me by touching my sore spot like this."

"We grew up together, can't you be a little kinder to me?"

The footsteps stopped suddenly.

Lin Qingran looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, who was crying her eyes out, with a calm and composed expression.

A dozen seconds later, Gu Moxuan's deep, angry voice came through.

"Lin Qingran, I asked you to help me receive Xiao Ruo, and this is how you receive her?"

She glanced at the man who had spoken, almost instinctively.

Gu Moxuan stood at the top of the stairs, staring at her with a cold expression and anger in his eyes.

Lin Qingran glanced at him indifferently and said indifferently.

"If you think I'm not doing a good job, then Mr. Gu, please do it yourself."

"Only Mr. Gu can cure her problem of her eyes watering too much."

As Lin Qingran spoke, she glanced indifferently at Yan Sui, who was following Gu Moxuan downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Yan Sui immediately avoided the gaze directed at him by Lin Qingran.

Gu Moxuan strode over, grabbed Lin Xiaoruo who was sitting on the sofa, and led her out.

Lin Qingran glanced at the bag Lin Xiaoruo had placed on the sofa, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and spoke in a low voice.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Moxuan frowned, stopped in his tracks, and turned to stare at Lin Qingran.

"What else do you have to say?"

When Lin Xiaoru saw that Gu Moxuan stopped almost immediately when Lin Qingran spoke, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. Then she pulled her hand out of Gu Moxuan's palm.

"Mo Xuan, I'm fine. You should stay here and have a good talk with your sister. I can go back by myself. I just came to see if she's feeling better."

"I never knew my sister disliked me so much."

Gu Moxuan's expression darkened, his gaze still fixed on Lin Qingran, as if he were waiting for an explanation.

However, the woman in the wheelchair was proud and wouldn't bother explaining such a trivial matter.

She looked coldly at Gu Moxuan and Lin Xiaoruo, who were standing side by side, and pointed to the handbag on the sofa.

"Bag."

Lin Xiaoruo was stunned for a moment before realizing that she hadn't taken her bag.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Moxuan's eyes, followed by a face full of anger.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Yan Sui walked to the sofa, took Lin Xiaoruo's bag, and handed it to her.

"Mr. Gu, let me take Miss Lin home."

Gu Moxuan nodded indifferently.

Lin Xiaoruo gritted her teeth inwardly, gave Yan Sui a dissatisfied look, but still followed behind Yan Sui and walked outside.

Gu Moxuan stood there facing Lin Qingran for a while, his deep eyes meeting her cold gaze. After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Lin Qingran, you have never disappointed me."

Lin Qingran rubbed her forehead, looked calmly at Gu Moxuan, and said softly.

"If Mr. Gu wants to argue with me because of Lin Xiaoruo, then there's no need to waste your time."

"If you really want to protect her, you should warn her not to come and provoke me. I can tolerate it once or twice, but if it happens repeatedly, I will get angry."

Her voice is light and gentle, making it very pleasant to listen to.

But Gu Moxuan was extremely displeased.

After a while, she raised her clear eyes to look at him and said gently.

"People in a fit of rage act without considering the consequences. So I didn't do anything more vicious to get her away from me."
